Modeling heterogeneities in the crosslinked bacterial sacculus

Examining the design principles of biological materials, in particular, the presence of inhomogeneities in their ultrastructure is the key to understanding the often remarkable mechanical properties possessed by them. In this work, motivated by the question of understanding the effect of variability...
